Maya sat in front of the open window staring at the ocean. Why didn't things ever work out the way its supposed to? She had it all planned out so carefully. Today was supposed to have been her day. She worked so damned hard and now all her hard work was in vain. SHE did all the work, and then that little minx Natasha took all the credit!
Just because she was only the assistant, didn't mean she should not get any credit. One of these days she was going to show them all. She had the perfect plan. This time Natasha would not get away with it.
Everyone will finally realize that she was the brain behind the project. She was better qualified and when she applied for the position, they had to conveniently appoint someone from inside the company but everyone knew that Natasha was Mr. Brown's niece. She had absolutely nothing between her ears and what she knew about webdesign and advertising Maya had long since forgotten.
When Natasha asked her to do some research about her next project she knew exactly what she had to do. She designed the whole site and it looked perfect but there were quite a few flaws in the design.
She did this on purpose so that Natasha would look like a fool. She would have no other choice but to tell everyone that she did not create the site. After Natasha's poor performance she was sure that Natasha would be fired.
Maya was very pleased with herself. The night before the presentation she celebrated by going out for a nice dinner and even ordered champagne. She would definitely be able to afford champagne more often once she takes Natasha's position.
Everyone had to know that she was the better designer and her whole life was going to change after this presentation.
Maya made sure everything was perfect in the boardroom. She ordered snacks and the boardroom looked perfect when the CEO and the other executives entered the room. Natasha walked in last, smiling at Maya and Maya wish she could slap that grin off Natasha's face. She smiled back and couldn't wait for what was about to happen.
Everybody sat down and Natasha stood in front of the boardroom-table. Once all was settled Natasha started her little speech and Maya could feel her heart beating faster.
"Ladies and gentleman. As you all know, I am leaving the company. I am getting married and today's presentation will be done by Maya. Maya designed the site and she ensured me that it was her best work ever.....
I would like to present to you your new chief designer .
"Maya please come forward"
Maya wished the earth could swallow her.
